t-walgamuth yeah it seems like a very well designed car, reminds me of a Jaguar almost, that's cool you got to sit in one brand new!! My dad was lucky enough to test drive this one the day my aunt brought it home, he was dating my mom and she brought the Z which she let him drive around the block. Must of been nice!

Txjake- Haha thanks, if I ever do decide to I'll hit you up, it looks really pristine in the pictures but the paint has MANY blemishes and dark spots with some cracking and tons of dings on the right side of the car.

Back then I thought it looked a lot like a jag coupe. Now of course it just looks like a Z.

This is the nicest original body style I have seen for a while.

The Z was styled after the Jaguar coupes if I remember correctly. Those are nice cars (both the Jag and the Z). Definitely worth restoring if you can tell it has potential.

I had a red 71 240 when I was 19 and used to ride around with my great dane scrunched up in the back. Fun Fun Fun car.
Looks like you got a really nice one, I am jealous!!!! Back then I never knew anything about changing oil.....I learned the hard way...

Thanks guys, yeah she's a beut, I took her to In-N-Out Burger which a good 27 mile drive on the freeway which was nice because it's just been sitting for a bit until I can take it in to be serviced.

I found a good shop near Los Angeles, called "Mikes Z Shop" which has been in business for 30 years and they only do Work on Nissan, Datsun and Lexus only I think, something like that. The idling needs to be worked on pronto and the brakes also, which probably need much work, and the electrical system because it's not charging the battery I plan to take it in the following month hopefully.

I just want to take it on a loooooooong drive to open it up and test it out!
